Tottenham Hotspur are set to appoint Southampton’s Jack Chapman as their new head of academy recruitment.

Feel for Southampton. Their head of recruitment joined Chelsea, technical director joined United & now we are poaching their head of youth recruitment.

Guess it indicates they were doing something impressive down there

Gi faktinės sąnaudos šituo aspektu yra tik paskola + palūkanos. Tai nėra taip, kad va pasistatėm stadiką, nors būtų buvę geriau WHL sėdėt.

Since opening the stadium in April, 2019, we have invested over £600 million in our Men’s and Women’s First Team squads.

To capitalise on our long-term potential, to continue to invest in the teams and undertake future capital projects, the Club requires a significant increase in its equity base. The Board and its advisors, Rothschild & Co, are in discussions with prospective investors. Any recommended investment proposal would require the support of the Club’s shareholders.

In the new set-up, Munn is in charge of all footballing departments and has joined the Tottenham board. Lange therefore will report to Munn, and so his scope of power will be reduced compared to Paratici, whose job title was managing director of football and reported to chairman Daniel Levy.

The roles of Paratici and Levy will be interesting in this new era. Starting with the former, Paratici has continued to work for Spurs in a consultancy capacity, including during the summer window when Spurs were without a technical director. Alejo Veliz was a signing Paratici was involved in for instance, while Guglielmo Vicario was a player he had admired and made enquiries about before he had left Spurs in April. Gabbanini himself was also a close ally of Paratici’s, though it’s worth pointing out that Gabbanini never stepped up to an interim director of football role in the summer even though he was the most senior member of the recruitment team with Paratici and Steinsson gone.

Now that Spurs do have a technical director, will Paratici still have a role? Given how well thought of he is by Levy, and the fact he’s been at Spurs’ last two home games, it’s hard to imagine the club no longer seeking his counsel. Especially given how impressively so many of his signings — Cristian Romero, Pape Matar Sarr and Destiny Udogie among them — have performed this season.

As for Levy, with no director of football and Munn yet to officially start, he was heavily involved in the summer transfer window just gone. The arrivals of Munn and now Lange should in theory change that, and while the proof is always in the pudding, it feels significant that, for a man accused of being too involved in the Spurs recruitment operation, he has made three major hires in the last few years in those two and Paratici.

And there will be another significant hire to come. Not at the same kind of level as Munn, Lange or Paratici, but Spurs are in the process of finding a new chief scout to replace Gabbanini. The new appointee will join a team that includes the head of emerging talent Sebastian Taghizadeh, head of academy recruitment Paul Lowe, lead recruitment analyst and data insights manager Nick Benett and Scoulding, the head of football strategy.

Spurs are building a sophisticated, more data-led recruitment operation, and the appointment of a technical director will be welcomed by head coach Ange Postecoulou, another new hire this year. Postecoglou has spoken about how strange it was to be conducting a transfer window without a director of football, and although not directly involved in the hiring of Lange, has given the appointment his approval. It would have been a misstep not to bring in someone whose views are aligned with the head coach, especially as it was this disconnect between Paratici and Antonio Conte over the kind of players Spurs should be signing that contributed to the dysfunction that defined the end of the latter’s time at the club.

Scott Munn officially starts work as Tottenham Hotspur’s new chief football officer today.

The Athletic revealed in April that Munn, an Australian 51-year-old, had been appointed to the role, meaning he would leave his position as the chief executive of City Football Group (CFG) China.

It had initially been hoped that Munn would start at Spurs on July 1, but that was delayed because of his prolonged exit from CFG.

Munn will now start in what is a new role at Tottenham that will see him join the board and take charge of all footballing departments, including the academy and the women’s team.

Munn has never held a job in European football but is well aware of the work of his compatriot Ange Postecoglou, who was appointed as Tottenham’s head coach in June.

One of Munn’s first big tasks will be to appoint a new director of football to replace Fabio Paratici, who left the role in April following a FIFA ban from all footballing activities that was later reduced on appeal.

Munn served as the chief executive of City Football Group China from 2019, following a nine-year tenure in the same capacity at Melbourne City, an organisation owned by CFG.

• Nuo šiol galėsim sakyti, kad su DoF/treneriu/pirkiniu grybą supjovė Munn, o ne Levy? Net keista tai rašyti

• Kaip greitai bus naujas DoF? Kaip greitai pasimatys kokie nors pokyčiai? Įdomu ar čia eina kalba apie <metus, ar 2-3, ar 3-5?

• Levy šitą australą ištraukė iš kito pasaulio galo, iš tų pačių City organizacijos, davė jam klube neregėta title, davė vietą boarde ir sutiko laukt iki pat šiandienos, nors reikalai sutarti dar balandį. Net nesidedu folijos kepurės ir paklausiu - ar tai reiškia, kad Levy bandys parduot klubą arabams, o kad prekė taptų patrauklesnė, nusisamdė arabų vs likusio pasaulio ekspertą, dirbantį ant international expansion reikalų?

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Scott Munn as Chief Football Officer. Scott will be joining the Club’s Board and will take charge of all footballing departments.

Scott, former City Football Group Executive, has extensive experience within sporting organisations having started his career with the Sydney Organising Committee for the 2000 Olympic Games and then transitioning into the National Rugby League, before joining the Australia Football League. Scott joined Melbourne City FC as Chief Executive Officer in 2010. In 2019 he was appointed Chief Executive Officer of City Football Group China.

Daniel Levy, Chairman: “Scott has a unique and broad experience of running sporting organisations at the highest level and will take responsibility for the leadership and management of our football activities to instil best practice both on and off the pitch.”

The sponsorship increase was due to new training wear partner Getir (£7.5m a year), a full year of sleeve sponsor Cinch (£10m a year) plus other new partners.

The substantial rise in other income was because the new stadium was open to major revenue-generating events, such as the heavyweight fight between Anthony Joshua and Oleksandr Usyk, the Rugby League Challenge Cup Final and a Rugby Union match between Saracens and Bristol Bears.

The 10-year NFL deal apparently allows Spurs to keep catering income, though not the gate receipts.

Since opening the stadium in April, 2019, we have invested over £500m in our Men’s First Team squad – putting us in the top five of spending in the Premier League – with a further £47m commitment in the January window, as we continue to support the team in the world’s most competitive league.

Our spend levels show we have invested in the team – however, we walk a fine line between long-term investment and short-termism. This is why our recruitment must be first class as mistakes at this level have a financial and sporting impact for future seasons. We have felt, and continue to feel, the financial impact of supporting player purchases which have not worked out as planned. We have taken steps to improve this area of operations and we believe the recent transfer windows reflect this.
